02:09 <Schism> Hmm.  Aloy is now in Genshin Impact.

02:32 <PinkieShy> I'm so happy :D

02:33 <PinkieShy> Was able to get a better deal on siriusxm than what i was going ot pay next month

02:34 <PinkieShy> I was in a moment of panic last night as i was like 5 minutes away from being charged $30 i dind't have for a plan i was meaning to talk with them about.. Switched to a $17 plan and called today and was able to get on a $5 deal they have going on :D

02:34 <PinkieShy> So getting a partial refund for what i did last night.

03:36 * Schism decides to take her tit-tacs a bit earlier than usual.

03:36 <Schism> Also, excellent, PinkieShy!

03:40 * Ali noms on Schism ear

03:40 * Ali shows Schism two Tiamat cards

03:42 <Schism> Shiny!

03:43 <Ali> Got them and three other of the legendary dragons in this set

03:43 <Schism> Quite the draw, that.

03:45 * Ali nod nods and curls into Schism, they've added a lot of dragons and dragon tribal gets pretty stupid

03:45 <Ali> And Tiamet, when you cast him, allows you to fetch 5 dragons from your deck to hand.

03:45 <Schism> Have heard it's rather silly, but that is Forgotten Realms.

03:45 <Schism> Her!

03:46 <Schism> Five-headed mother of dragons.

03:46 <Ali> Ok, didn't know that

03:46 <Ali> But either way, you can pull 5 strong ass dragons from your deck to hand, and in commander, that's pretty silly

03:47 <Schism> Yup.  'course, it's omnicolour.

03:47 <Ali> Well what's stupid is the dragon commander, makes dragons cheaper to cast

03:48 <Ali> So you can drop a 4 mana dragon on turn 3, or sooner if you get lucky with ramp

03:59 <Schism> Also, I should note that Tiamat is only the mother of the Chromatic dragons.  Which are Usually Evil.

04:07 <Amelia> good (almost) afternoon, ponies

04:07 <Schism> Harlo from the other side of the world.

04:08 * Schism watches the Habs lose a lot of fans. And it's not hard to see why...

04:09 <Amelia> how are you?

04:10 <Schism> Up and down.  And you?

04:10 <Schism> (Also: ;-;.  https://twitter.com/niioriArt/status/1415307619061821441 )

04:14 <Schism> Mood right now is kinda like: https://twitter.com/kitunegazou/status/1418630686987063300

06:23 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:23 <Schism> Evening.  *erfs*

06:24 * ConfusionRift waves.

06:26 <Schism> One of those nights when my digestive system doesn't want to work properly.  Fun, fun, fuuuun.

06:27 <Ali> tummy troubles suck

06:27 * Ali rubs Schism belly

06:27 * Schism will be fine. She hugs the Ali, though.

06:27 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that sucks.

06:28 * ConfusionRift lightly huggles Schism and Ali.

06:28 * Ali licks ConfusionRift nosie

06:29 <ConfusionRift> :P

06:30 <Schism> People are a tad upset at the Habs tonight.

06:33 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony!

06:33 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

06:33 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

06:33 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Amelia, Schism and Surreal_Nightmares; Messrs Cepheid, Lumindia, PinkieShy and AppleDash; Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

06:34 <Finwe> o7

06:34 * Schism doffs her cup of ginger turmeric tisane.

06:34 * Finwe plans the route for today's 40 km hike.

06:36 * Finwe grabs Schism by shoulders and shakes her.

06:37 <Finwe> I just found out that I have ginger tea, but I've never made a single cup. Why?

06:37 * Schism wobbles. "Whaaaat?" She also blinks. "Because you didn't feel like it?"

06:37 <Finwe> The bag was forgotten in the back of the cupboard. :/

06:38 <Schism> Now's as good a time as any to make a cup!

06:38 <Finwe> But now that I actively know that I have ginger tea, I might even feel like it.

06:42 * Ali tried sweet tea a week ago, still can't get that awful taste out of her mouth

06:43 <Schism> Some sweet tea is okay!  Some is just 90% sugar by volume.

06:43 <Finwe> I never put sugar into tea.

06:43 <Finwe> Milk sometimes, if it's black tea.

06:43 <Schism> One moment years ago.  https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/comments/opz75c/probably_my_first_wait_a_second_moment/

06:44 <Finwe> Green tea requires no additives.

06:44 <Finwe> Neither does white.

06:44 <ConfusionRift> Ah, plant flavored water. Or as Schism just said, watered down sugar water... with light earthy taste. :P

06:46 * Schism notes, "This, however, would be nice -- tea with honey, from the bees."

06:49 <Ali> Whenever you can brew it?

06:54 <Finwe> Whenever you have hot water and tea leaves at hoof.

06:54 <Schism> Ali: Indeed.  o3o

06:54 <Finwe> A teapot would also be nice. o3o

06:55 * Ali think Finwe missed the refference

06:55 <Schism> And some codfish oil, for my chest, poured from a crystal cruet.

06:56 <Ali> Eeyup~

07:10 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail, there's no danger of missing the reference there.

07:11 <Finwe> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIQrdDbOpl0

07:11 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Celestia and Luna in: Tail Nomming

07:25 * Schism hums. "So I do fill this." Unfortunately it's a 40A, and her band size is 42. Bleh.

07:26 <Finwe> Is that the circumference in inches?

07:27 <Schism> Indeed.

07:27 <Finwe> I'm 37" around chest and 28.5" around waist.

07:28 <Schism> The midpoint of the sternum, typically.  And ah, somewhat smaller than I.  Which is understandable!

07:28 * Ali boops Finwe as that was bra sizes

07:29 * Finwe boobs Ali, as that was bra sizes. o3o

07:29 <Schism> Waist is... about 34"?  Hrm.  I'm fairly certain I'm not measuring accurately.

07:33 <Finwe> And hip 38.5"-

07:35 <Schism> 42" on the hips as well now.  So not hourglass, to be sure, but there's enough variance there.

07:36 <Finwe> Given that I'm measuring it at the right place.

07:40 * Schism contemplates a peanut butter sandwich.

07:41 * Schism further contemplates a bowl of ramen instead. She has lots of leftover pizza, too...

07:42 <Schism> The black bean ramen seems like a good choice.  Chilled before I add the sauce.

07:45 * Finwe heeds the old Tibetan proverb.

07:45 <Finwe> "Always go to toilet before going on a long hike."

07:49 <Ali> Else bushes will be your next visit

07:53 * Finwe also heeds old scout wisdom.

07:53 <ConfusionRift> And hope it's not poison ivy or the similar.

07:53 <Finwe> "Chocolate has a good energy to weight ratio."

07:54 <Finwe> ConfusionRift: There's no poison ivy in Europe.

07:54 <Schism> It does.  Of course, the militaries had to make chocolate taste less delicious to keep the troops from nomming upon emergency rations.

07:54 <ConfusionRift> "-or the similar."

07:55 <Finwe> There are no plants in Finland that have any kind of contact poison.

07:55 <Finwe> Nettles come the closes, I guess.

07:55 <Finwe> *closest

07:56 <Finwe> We do have one snake species that is venomous.

07:56 * Ali hisses at Finwe

07:56 <Finwe> And some poisonous plants, like lily-of-the-valley.

07:57 * Finwe stares at Ali.

07:57 <Finwe> Whence this hissing?

07:59 <Amelia> Morning for you finwe

09:19 * Schism hugs the Shadowed, and offers pancakes.

09:19 * Shadowed hugs Filly_Nightmares and Schism. Noms pancakes.

09:19 * Filly_Nightmares wigglewaggles and eee!

10:13 * Lumindia yawns, awakens

10:58 <Amelia> Filly_nightmares: hiya

11:07 * Filly_Nightmares climbs onto Amelia and meow

18:18 * Finwe noms on Ali.

18:21 * Finwe counter-whines at Ali.

18:22 * Ali boops Finwe

18:28 <Ali> Yikes, these IR2 miners eat 500kW of power each

18:34 <Ali> Hmm, I wonder if its just better to stick with a steam system than it is going for electricity.  A electric engine only makes 900kW of power each.

18:35 <Ali> So you'd need some crazy large coal system to keep your power running

18:35 * Schism wakes up. Takes insulin and anticistamines, and sighs. "I need to get my sleep schedule back to regular."

19:29 <Lumindia> Schism: I'm reminded of that news anchor that complained about twitch existing

19:29 <Lumindia> You have an entire channel dedicated to golf, shut your mouth

19:29 <Schism> Basically, the Cleveland baseball team, formerly the Indians, changed their name on the grounds that, yanno, maybe thit's not a good look to have a racist stereotype as your name and logo in today's day and age.

19:30 <Schism> it's*

19:32 <Ali> Even though the name it was using was allowed by the tribe

19:32 <Schism> Hm, I hadn't known that tidbit.

19:32 <Ali> But you know, lets ignore history to stop the EEEEEs

19:32 <Ali> So technically, the team names were never 'racist'

19:32 <Schism> Well, the Guardians are a fine name anyway, and hey, if it's causing continual confusion.

19:38 * Shadowed chews on baseball bats.

19:39 * Ali chews on Shadowed tail

19:39 <Cepheid> I like how as we flop around, we leave red stuff all over the areas, presumably blood.  But in water, we shed nothing, the water remains pure.  Carrion's weird man.

19:41 * Lumindia chews on Ali's tail

19:41 * Schism reads "Kiss it Goodbye", a cute little romance.

19:45 * Shadowed grumbles that traded pokemon in HeartGold start disobeying early.

19:46 <Schism> Well, that's why you need to get all the badges!

19:47 <Schism> I always kinda liked that as an anti-twinking mechanism.

19:51 <Shadowed> Yeah, but level 10 is too early for disobedience.

19:52 <Schism> But... the Zephyr Badge should stop that...

19:52 * Schism grumps, and goes out on a quick run to the store.

19:52 <Schism> Oh, and have fun with Gym #3!

19:52 <Shadowed> Whitney is not that bad.

19:53 <Shadowed> There is an early move that makes her a joke.

19:53 <Shadowed> Sand Attack.

19:53 <Shadowed> If Rollout misses the damage resets.

20:09 <Ali> Yeah, that's your only saving grace

20:09 <Ali> Other than you used to use Ghastly and prayed for it to spam stomp

20:09 <Ali> But in HG, it has scrappy so...ghosts are worthless

20:09 * Dranae screes and roosts on Ali.

20:37 * Dranae snuggles onto Ali and nuzzles both her and Shadowed.]

20:37 * Ali snugs on Dranae and Shadowed lots

20:46 * Schism looks at the last few remaining slices of pizza. "I don't know why I bother ordering takeout. I never actually get to eat much of it." She decides she's not going to in the future -- or if she does, she'll order enough for her, and let her brother just choke on ramen or something.

20:49 <Cepheid> Usually when I order a pizza, I just order a small one because I'll eat the whole danged thing, and it's not too much for me.

20:49 <Schism> Going to be doing something like that from here on.

20:50 <Schism> Though even a smol might be a bit much for my current stomach.

20:52 * Schism randomly wonders how Bugsy ever got to be a gym leader. Scyther, okay, but Metapod and Kakuna?

20:54 <Ali> Well it was gen two

20:54 <Ali> I mean they could've given him a ledyba, but that's just about as bad as the two cacoon mons

20:55 <Schism> But... but why not Butterfree and Beedrill?

20:55 <Schism> (This image still amuses me.  https://i.redd.it/ksqipg7v9e001.png )

20:56 <Ali> Maybe they thought that would be too hard for the second gym?

20:56 <Ali> I mean do you remember that Butterfree in Gen One that was before the thrid gym?  It wrecks

20:56 <Schism> Well... okay, that's true.

20:57 <Dranae> Because Beedrill and Butterfree, at the level you fight Bugsy, would be p r e t t y rough.

20:57 <Dranae> 14-16 if memory serves.

20:58 <Schism> Okay, Butterfree, I'll grant you.  But Beedrill?

20:58 <Dranae> Given that they evolve at 15? That'd be a level 15 Beedrill, Butterfree, and Scyther.

20:58 <Dranae> At least I think it's 15

20:58 <Schism> No, Beedrill and Butterfree evolve at 10.  

20:59 <Dranae> Ah, right. It's been a literal decade and more since last I played one, forgive the error.

20:59 <Dranae> Still, pretty sure they introduced some unique move to Beedrill in G/S

20:59 <Ali> Not really

20:59 <Ali> It still had twineedle

21:00 <Ali> And butterfree has the spores along with confusion

21:00 <Schism> No worries.  The confusion is understandable, because most Pokemon do take longer to evolve: the Weedle & Kakuna lines are an exception.  Early game breadwinners, especially Butterfree (as long as the RNG doesn't cheat on recovering from ailments).

21:00 <Dranae> Twinneedle? Though that may have been too high-level for normal Beedrills of that level. I know Pin Missile would have been, but others can also learn Pin Missile (like Jolteon, I think?)

21:00 <Ali> Jolteon can learn Pin Missle, but its effectively jank due to its low attack stat

21:00 *** Quits: _jimm (horse@Pony-countr.res6.spectrum.com) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

21:01 <Ali> Like the poor eon only learns special electric moves

21:01 <Ali> The others is Double Kick, and Pin Missle

21:01 <Dranae> Anyway, imagine Beedrill with something like early rock smash or another early Fighting Type move

21:01 <Ali> Used to learn Bite

21:01 <Schism> TwinNeedle at 20, Pin Missile at 30 (35 in Gen2).

21:01 <Dranae> It'd be pretty rough

21:01 <Ali> So it only had Poison Sting and Fury Attack then

21:01 <Dranae> ugh

21:01 <Dranae> Old Fury Attack.

21:01 <Schism> Beedrill also has Fury Attack and Focus Energy, which is okay.  And yeah, Poison Sting.

21:01 <Dranae> Such a bad 'good' attack

21:01 <Ali> CRIT DEATH

21:02 <Ali> Schism, FE and Fury attack under Gen 2 rules would suck

21:02 <Dranae> Regardless...

21:02 <Ali> Cause I /think/ if one crit, they all crit

21:02 <Dranae> Let's remember one last critical element, everypony.

21:02 <Schism> It woooould, yeah.

21:02 <Dranae> Gym Leaders fight you at the power level you are when you 'arrive'.

21:02 <Ali> Though not sure FE had the gen one bug

21:02 <Dranae> Bugsy probably has some far stronger Pokemon to throw out against more experienced Trainers.

21:03 * Schism gets a call from shorts kid, she goes out to fight him again, gets stomped by a level 70 Charizard.

21:03 <Dranae> I just googled it. Oh sweet Jesus he has some terrifying ones.

21:04 <Dranae> Toxic/Power Split Shuckle, level 50.

21:04 <Schism> Hmm, rematch in HG/SS is...

21:04 <Schism> Impressive.

21:04 <Dranae> Yeah his rematch is... quite solid

21:05 <Schism> Shedinja of course.

21:05 <Dranae> Shedinja is one of my favorites from G/S

21:05 <Dranae> Which is weird because I didn't really like G/S very much overall.

21:05 <Schism> Shedinja was first released in RSE, though.

21:06 <Ali> The problem with Shedinja

21:06 *** Joins: Apple_Jack (Prius@Pony-telamf.ipv6.telus.net)

21:06 <Ali> is it hated entry hazards

21:06 <Ali> Or Hail/Sandstorm

21:06 <Dranae> I... Don't think so?

21:06 <Dranae> Was it?

21:06 <Ali> Yeah, its not immune to them

21:06 <Dranae> Huh, it is G3.

21:06 <Dranae> welp

21:06 <Dranae> Think the last time I played G2/G3 was uhhh

21:06 <Ali> There was this thing in one game

21:06 <Dranae> Prooooobably closer to 20 years ago

21:06 <Ali> That made you knock out 6 Shedinja's in one turn

21:07 <Dranae> :(

21:07 <Dranae> yeah

21:07 <Dranae> almost 20 years ago now

21:07 <Dranae> why am I old

21:07 <Schism> hey, hey dranae

21:08 <Schism> Half-Life is 23 years old.  o3o

21:08 <Dranae> never was much into HL

21:08 <Schism> And Final Fantasy 10 turned 20 years old about a week ago.

21:08 <Dranae> But what if I told you that the best Final Fantasy I ever played

21:08 <Dranae> Is almost 25 years old

21:09 <Dranae> June 20 of next year is its 25th anni

21:09 <Schism> I'd applaud you on your appreciation for the tale of Ivalice.

21:09 <Dranae> Here's a hint

21:10 <Dranae> 'Sword in hand, a warrior clutches stone to breast. In sword etched he his fading memories, in stone, his tempered skill. By sword attested, by stone revealed. Their tale can now be told!'

21:10 <Dranae> ugh and now I'm actually tearing up

21:10 * Schism unequips Gafgarion's everything, and then steals his Blood Sword.

21:10 * Dranae cackles.

21:10 <Dranae> Schism, when I did FF14's Return To Ivalice

21:11 <Dranae> I did it during Shadowbringers

21:11 <Dranae> because I'm not one for prog raiding and also I was too poor to afford the xpac when it was new

21:11 <Schism> So T.G. Cid wasn't _quite_ as much of a block for you.

21:11 <Dranae> The story very close to broke me.

21:11 <Schism> <3

21:11 <Dranae> I was a sobbing, bawling mess.

21:11 <Schism> Here, relax and open up your heart with this bottle of wine and loaf of bacon bread.

21:12 <Schism> T'was indeed a fantastic tale.

21:12 <Dranae> Although one of my FC mates was laughing the whole time during the fight with Argath

21:12 <Dranae> because I was so angry that I ran out of words and just started screaming in chat

21:13 <Dranae> Have I mentioned that I hate Argath so badly that, as a young man, I actually threw up because of my anger toward him?

21:13 <Dranae> I was fifteen

21:13 <Schism> It was, undoubtedly, a delight to finally punch him in the face.  :3

21:13 <Dranae> But after much emotion (and sidequesting)

21:14 <Dranae> I finally got to the last raid and oh my god it just

21:14 <Dranae> I was crying from basically the start.

21:14 <Dranae> Seeing all my old comrades, all the references to old skill names (Crush Accessory summoning 'Icewolf' when its original name was Icewolf Bite, for example)

21:15 <Dranae> And then the end fight, when the shield is crumbling

21:15 <Dranae> And he just

21:15 <Dranae> Shows Up.

21:15 <Dranae> That was it for me, I put down my controller and just sobbed through the rest of it.

21:15 * Schism hugs the Dranae.

21:16 <Dranae> It was almost twenty five years of emotional closure

21:17 <Schism> Downside to doing it during ShB: https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=september-21-2020

21:18 <Schism> Also, no doubt...!

21:18 <Dranae> I also didn't struggle during a specific side quest...

21:18 <Dranae> kewh.

21:18 <Dranae> Kweh*

21:18 <Schism> Those red chocobos.  Certainly not.

21:19 *** Quits: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-sme.fv9.240.188.IP) (Quit: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mircea/)

21:19 <Schism> You should've seen it when the raid first came out.  SO MANY RED CHOCOBOS in one place, Choco Meteors were landing everywhere at once.

21:20 <Schism> Poor Mae.  She was so hyped for the Agrias set.  https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=september-30-2020

21:20 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-sme.fv9.240.188.IP)

21:22 <Dranae> I wanted Ramza's (unsurprising, I know)

21:22 <Dranae> https://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/f/894ce10b8e733b0071e88f41d03aeffc_5c8ecfbc673e1287a9b5e85423fe1657fl0_640x873.jpg?1627161086 [Character] [FF14]

21:22 <Dranae> I dont' think I did too badly, though.

21:23 <Dranae> My fashion game's pretty on-point.

21:23 <Schism> Yea, that's pretty great.

21:25 * Schism sneeeeeeeze...

21:26 * Dranae is sad that Schism is allergic to griffin.

21:27 * Dranae also snuggles into Schism more, because he is part cat, and that is his job.

21:27 * Schism is not allergic. She's just sneezy right now for some reason.

21:27 * Lumindia rolls over to Dranae, boops their beak gently

21:28 * Dranae hugs Lumindia

21:28 <Dranae> Righto

21:28 <Dranae> Time to fire up a game I haven't played in forever so I can get hard carried through a fight

21:28 <Schism> I think my MCH gear remains pretty decent.

21:28 <Dranae> Ewww, MCH.

21:29 <Schism> Well, okay, MCH/BRD/DNC, but the latter two aren't up to that point.

21:29 <Dranae> ew and ew

21:29 <Schism> True Griffin Hat, Skallic Jacket, Torrent Tights, Torrent Boots.

21:29 * Dranae points to the only good classes. GNB, RDM

21:30 <Schism> My RDM is still glam'd for the Draconic Robe of Buttwings.

21:30 <Schism> Dreadwyrm*

21:31 <Dranae> But for real, when they added GNB, I was like

21:31 <Dranae> 'Oh hey finally I can quit being RDM

21:31 <Dranae> '

21:31 <Schism> GNB is the only tank class I haven't really played at _all_...

21:31 <Dranae> Oh man, it's fun.

21:31 <Dranae> And flashyu.

21:31 <Schism> WAR is flashy!

21:32 <Lumindia> Schism: I have five RDM glams

21:32 <Schism> Yes, but you're RDM main.

21:34 <Schism> You do so love that hat.

21:34 <Lumindia> you gotta have a fancy hat

21:34 <Lumindia> :V

21:34 <Lumindia> if you're not wearing a fancy hat as RDM,a re you even playing the job correctly?

21:34 <Schism> I have flowers in my hair, that's enough.

21:35 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/9rMuBl9.png https://i.imgur.com/7ceCLwY.png

21:35 <Lumindia> my two healer glams

21:35 * Finwe scrunchymuzzles at Ali with a long lantecy.

21:35 <Finwe> *scrunch*

21:39 *** Quits: Apple_Jack (Prius@Pony-telamf.ipv6.telus.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

21:43 <Schism> Hmmmm.

21:43 <Schism> Should use my Squadron MGP rewards.  o3o  Later.

21:48 * Dranae sighs happily at the game he is playing.

21:48 <Dranae> I forgot how adorable babushkat is

21:50 <Schism> I'm here in the Saucer and a racer is petting his birb, saying, "Don't worry, they'll take care of you here," and I'm like, "They sure will.  And have you tried the chocobo gold nuggets?"

22:00 * Dranae suddenly wants to watch the Monster Hunter movie, just to see how bad it is

22:00 <Schism> I've heard it's ... okay?

22:03 <Schism> Oh, it's classic Leap.

22:24 * Ali flops, after many factorio hours in IR2, she's FINALLY automating red/green science....

22:25 <Schism> Yaaaay!

22:28 * Dranae has just realized the exact sort of movie he needs to see.

22:28 <Dranae> Okay so

22:28 <Dranae> You know how Scott Pilgrim was a perfect superhero movie lampooning as a romcom

22:29 <Dranae> Complete with all the silly comicbook/video game stuff in it?

22:34 <Amelia> Good morning, ponies

22:35 * Shadowed thinks Dranae wants to watch Scott Pilgrim.

22:35 <Dranae> Okay maybe yes.

22:37 <Dranae> But imagine something as lampoony/campy/silly as Scott Pilgrim, but in the vein of all those modern John Wick-style movies.

22:37 <Dranae> You know. Equalizer, Nobody, Jason Bourne, Wick 1, 2, 3.

22:38 <Dranae> But lampooning them

22:39 <Schism> Sadly, Leslie Nielsen is no longer with us.

22:39 <Shadowed> The Expendables?

22:40 <Dranae> I was thinking Nic Cage, Schism

22:40 <Shadowed> Jack Black.

22:40 <Dranae> Shadowed, the Expendables is, like the A-Team, a lampoon of the idea, but not the kind of lampoon I want

22:40 <Dranae> Oh my god yes

22:41 <Shadowed> Considering how much plot armor the main characters have in those movies, do a chosen one narrative like Kung Fu Panda.

22:42 <Shadowed> Alternatively if we don't go that route, what was the ps2 game... Brutal Legend?

22:42 <Dranae> yes

22:43 * Shadowed would watch a Brutal Legend movie.

22:43 <Dranae> Same.

22:43 <Dranae> I've not played but five minutes and I would too.

22:43 <Dranae> But isn't that basically just Tenacious D and the Pick Of Destiny: The Sequel?

22:44 <Shadowed> Jack Black is a Roadie in Brutal Legend who gets Isekaied instead of normal band member.

22:49 <Dranae> That's hilarious.

22:50 * Shadowed watched a let's play of it a while back. I wasn't cool enough to know what a good game looks like when it was new.

22:59 *** Joins: Apple_Jack (Prius@Pony-telamf.ipv6.telus.net)

23:56 <Lumindia> Brutal Legend is an OK game with a KILLER soundtrack

23:58 * Schism randomly collects nutsacks.
